THEORIES ON STRESS ON IMPLANTS IN IMPLANT-PROSTHETIC THERAPY

Abstract

In this article, we aim to carefully analyze the forces applied to implants in DMA biomechanics in various forms of prosthodontic edentulism and in different variants of implant-supported prosthesis. We will also examine the most suitable prosthesis variants that would keep the occlusal forces applied on implants within functional physiological limits to avoid overloading at the root-implant support level, overloads that could lead to bone resorption and implant mobility. We will define the elements that must be considered to minimize the risk of failure in implant-prosthetic therapy and based on all these benchmarks, a correct implant-prosthetic therapeutic plan will be developed.
